We hold regular events.
What’s on at NIM. A monthly steaming day runs on the last Sunday of each month.Watch our incredible collection of static and portable engines in action, including the awe-inspiring Basford Beam Engine. Don’t forget to keep an eye (and ear!) out for the portable engine welcoming visitors at the main entrance!
When we ‘in steam’ we might also be offering our ‘Taste of History’ in the Victorian Kitchen.
The first Sunday of each month we often have a bobbin lace demonstration, come and have a go!
Upcoming regular events:
- Steaming on Sunday October 4 & 25th.
